Main Text Chapter 717: Relatives of King Liang

Unknown to the situation, he did not intervene to stop it, so he flew to a nearby hillside and stood behind a tree to watch the battle.

When the two armies were fighting fiercely, Miao Yi looked back.

There was a cloud of dust and smoke over there, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen were rumbling over. After rushing to this side, everyone immediately bent their bows, and countless arrows rained down. Miao Yi slightly turned sideways, and six or seven feather arrows were inserted into the tree trunk, shaking slightly.

Miao Yi dodged into the tree canopy, and saw that the cavalrymen charged all the way, bending their bows and shooting all the way. After rushing into the battle camp, everyone drew their swords and rushed in directly, and flanked the other wave of troops and horses that were fighting.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and the winner was decided. The flanked side was defeated, some fled, some surrendered, and the winning side raised their arms and cheered.

The battlefield was filled with murderous aura, corpses were everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and the whole place was in a mess. The strong smell of blood drifted in the wind. Miao Yi shook his head and dodged away.

Hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, Miao Yi searched everywhere in the mountains and swamps, hoping to find the monks here to communicate, but he didn't find it. Instead, he found a city on a plain. Four city gates led to the four-way roads, and you could see carriages and horses coming and going and peddlers coming in and out.

In the small world, monks would not easily reveal their identities in the city. Miao Yi didn't know what the situation was here, so he landed in a small forest nearby and slowly walked onto the official road.

When an old farmer driving a donkey cart passed by, he stopped the donkey cart, puffed on a dry pipe, and looked Miao Yi up and down.

Miao Yi was very surprised that he had something smoking in his mouth. This situation felt like Zhang Tianxiao, the palace master of Yuexing Palace, smoking that cigarette. Miao Yi didn't know why the old man was looking at him. There seemed to be no difference in the dress of both sides, otherwise he would not show up in public.

"Young man, are you going to the city?" the old farmer asked, holding a pipe.

"Yes!" Miao Yi smiled and nodded.

"It's still a few miles away. I'll give you a ride." The old farmer waved his hand to signal him to get on the cart.

What a kind person! Miao Yi nodded and said, "Okay!"

He stepped onto the donkey cart behind him. This was the first person he met in this unknown world, a mortal.

Snap! The old farmer whipped the donkey, and the donkey continued to move forward with the clumsy wheels.

Miao Yi looked at the things in the cart, farm vegetables such as green vegetables and radishes, and a few live chickens.

"Young man, from your accent, you are not a local, right? I'm Liu Furong. May I ask your name, sir?" the old farmer asked while driving the donkey cart.

Miao Yi smiled and said, "No, I'm from far away. My name is Niu Youde!"

"Niu Youde? Haha, what a good name. Sir. You look so elegant and noble, you must not be from an ordinary family, why would you walk a long way alone? Why don't you ride a horse or a car?" Liu Lao Nong was quite surprised.

Miao Yi said, "I had no choice. I was playing in the mountains with my companions, got separated, and walked here unknowingly."

Liu Lao Nong immediately reminded solemnly, "Sir, don't dare to run around in the mountains nearby in the future. The country is about to be in chaos, and evil spirits are everywhere. It's the time when evil spirits are haunting the mountains. At night, my family dare not go out. If you run around like this and are caught by evil spirits, what will happen? Won't it make your family worry?"

The country is about to be in chaos? Miao Yi was about to ask what was going on. The rumbling of hooves sounded from behind, and the old farmer quickly drove the donkey cart to the side, and dozens of cavalry soldiers galloped all the way.

After they passed, Liu Laonong sighed and said, "I hope the war will end soon."

Miao Yi naturally asked, "Uncle, where is the war going?"

"You don't even know this? It seems that you are really a young man who has no worries about food and clothing and is ignorant of the world." Liu Laonong sighed and said, "The king is immoral, licentious and unrighteous, and he levies heavy taxes. The princes rebelled. The King of Liang who sits here is now resisting the imperial army. Now my Great Yan Kingdom is in flames everywhere!"

Miao Yi suddenly realized that this place is still the same as the ancient imperial hereditary system in the small world? Trying to ask, "Uncle, who do you think will win, the King of Liang or the imperial court?"

Liu Laonong pointed to the city in front and said, "The city defense is not strict, it is obvious that the King of Liang is more confident, otherwise it must be strictly guarded. We ordinary people naturally hope that the King of Liang will win, otherwise once the imperial army arrives, we rebels will have no good days."

It seems that this court is really unpopular! Miao Yi looked at the three big characters on the city gate in front, Daliang City!

The soldiers guarding the city gate were checking the passers-by in and out of the city one by one.

The donkey cart was no exception when it arrived outside the city gate. Miao Yi and Old Man Liu jumped off the cart and were questioned.

Miao Yi was dressed in luxurious clothes and had that demeanor. He didn't look like an ordinary person at all, but he mixed with farmers like Old Man Liu, which aroused suspicion. The soldiers focused on questioning him. They wanted to search him, but Miao Yi didn't care. He had just arrived and wanted to find out the situation first. He opened his arms and let them search. His things were all in the storage ring, so he was not afraid of these ordinary people searching.

But Old Man Liu's donkey cart was searched.

"Your accent doesn't sound like a local. Where are you from? What are you doing in the city?" A sergeant leader questioned Miao Yi.

Miao Yi really didn't know how to answer this. The key point was that even if he told the other party honestly where he was from, the other party would not know. What's more, he only knew that there was a Daliang City here, and he couldn't make up a place at random. He didn't look like a relative of Old Man Liu.

He had no choice but to blurt out casually: "I'm from Prince Liang's Mansion. I'm the cousin of Princess Liang. I got separated from my companions when I went out to play in the city, so I took this old man's car back and was about to go back to Prince Liang's Mansion." He was very calm and not afraid. Expose it, even if it is exposed, what can you do to yourself?

The old man on the side was stunned. He was glad that he didn't talk nonsense just now. No wonder he looked noble and felt like a relative of the Liang Wang family.

When the guard heard that he was a relative of King Liang, he was also in awe. Looking at Miao Yi's calm and calm demeanor, he did not seem to be lying. Most people would not dare to tell such lies, otherwise they would definitely be in trouble when entering the city. The leader immediately greeted The two of them asked their men to send Miao Yi back to Prince Liang's Mansion.

Miao Yi smiled and waved: "No, I'll go for a walk by myself." Then he waved to Old Man Liu, "Uncle, let's go."

After the guard let him go, the leader called his men and said, "Go to the palace quickly to report that the princess's lost cousin is back."

Miao Yi didn't expect this.

Old man Liu went to the city to sell vegetables. When he arrived at the market, he unloaded the donkey cart, tied the donkeys, and sold them on the spot. From time to time, he quietly looked at the relatives of King Liang who were following him.

Seeing that Old Man Liu was a little nervous, Miao Yi smiled and said: "Uncle, don't panic, don't treat me as a relative of King Liang, just treat me as an ordinary person. As the uncle said, I really don't know much about the world, so I plan to follow my uncle today." See the world’s customs and customs, and you will be grateful when you look back!”

Seeing that he was easy-going, Old Man Liu gradually felt relieved.

Soon, Miao Yi, who was looking around to watch the business in the market here, discovered that the currency used here was different from that in the small world. The currency used here was actually gold, silver and copper coins. He didn't see anyone using crystal coins, and he was somewhat speechless.

He does have some gold and silver on hand, but it's not the kind used as money here, but some jewelry and other decorations.

Not long after, an old man with a goatee sat down in a nearby teahouse. Behind him stood a few people holding swords. A sergeant who was in front of the city gate was also nearby. He pointed to the man standing with his hands behind his back in the market. Miao Yi, who was beside Old Man Liu, whispered: "Master Xu, that's him!"

A man holding the knife behind him immediately said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, I'm going to catch him right now."

Mr. Xu waved his hand, "This person is very popular. He is not like a spy who sneaked into the city. Let's take a look and find out the details first." Then he said to the sergeant: "Go back first, don't let the news leak out." He waved his hand, Someone on the side immediately understood and gave the sergeant a reward.

Old Man Liu's vegetables hadn't been sold until noon, but they were all sold out in an hour. The sales went so smoothly that he even felt funny. There was no other reason than that Miao Yi stood next to him with extraordinary magnanimity, which was very attractive. Attention is more attractive than shouting and selling.

"The old man has taken advantage of the noble man today." Old man Liu, who was cleaning the donkey cart, said with a smile. After getting in touch with Miao Yi for a while, he found that he was easy to get along with without any pretensions.

Miao Yi laughed. He was also a person who had done business in the market, and he could see that Old Man Liu had indeed benefited from him, and he was better than anyone else in the business.

"Uncle, don't go back today. Come with me to walk around. I have a lot of things I want to ask uncle for. I will thank you very much when I turn around." Miao Yi implored.

The relatives of King Liang were all asking for it. How could Old Man Liu refuse? This was a relationship that was beyond his reach. He agreed repeatedly and agreed, then left the donkey cart with an acquaintance in the market.

The two started walking around the streets and alleys of Daliang City. Miao Yi immediately discovered something strange. There were no temples or other places to collect wishes. Even if there were shrines in the house, they were done spontaneously. In the same city, there are people who believe in various gods and Buddhas. In short, you believe in which gods and Buddhas are efficacious. Almost every door has a portrait of the door god.

This puzzled Miao Yi very much. Legend has it that the way to collect wish power is to come from the big world. But look at the situation here. Is it possible that there are no monks here? But that’s not right, Old Man Liu also said that there are monsters doing mischief in the nearby mountains.

While wandering around, Miao Yi noticed someone following him, but he didn't take it seriously. At noon, he invited Old Man Liu to the restaurant for a good meal and a taste of the local delicacies. When paying the bill, Miao Yi took a golden hairpin and twisted it into a lot of golden beans in his palm, and settled the bill with the golden beans. .

After leaving the restaurant, Miao Yi asked Old Man Liu, "Do you know where the immortals here usually live?"

What he really wanted to contact was the monks here.

Old man Liu said he knew and took him to a City God's Temple.

Miao Yi was speechless. This was the first time he saw such a thing. However, he saw many believers worshiping it and the incense was very strong. Old man Liu also bought incense and candles to worship, and even invited Miao Yi to come to worship as well.

Miao Yi waved lightly, how could he bend his knees to worship such a thing. Regardless of whether the spirit of the City God's Temple was effective or not, he could tell that there was a ghost cultivator living in the City God's Temple. When he opened his Dharma Eyes, he saw the Yin Qi floating around. (To be continued...)
